The are fond of each other.

Everyone thinks that they have the cutest dogs around, but I actually do. Proof: Clementine has plenty love to give. She will lick your face for hours if you let her, and she is a big time cuddler.  She doesn't mind having her teeth brushed or her hair combed.  She doesn't object to the occasional application of lip gloss or the donning of a party dress.  She believes that all dogs are her best friends. She likes to run and is always excited to see me when I come home. Clementine likes to chew on important things. Winston has an old soul. He...

We didn’t even tell ghost stories, and I still enjoyed myself.

Winter time is hat time.

I went camping with my friends, my dogs, and my boyfriend last weekend. It was magical! the highlights: I got to spend time with two of my sisters. They are big fun. Clementine had the time of her life. Winston was climbing on everything within reach of his stubby little legs. Amidst all the beautiful nature, we found this rock that looked suspiciously like a penis. Kirby got stuck on a rock wall for a minute. Yes, she has a dog backback. It carried her treats, portable bowl, and a small amount of water. We got a chance to rough it like big strong men. It consisted of blueberry...

Tampons are for suckaz.

DISCLAIMER: This entry discusses in detail the following- pads, tampons, my vagina, periods, period blood If any of these topics make you uncomfortable, then please read no further. Also, if you're a girl, why are you uncomfortable with periods? They're not going anywhere until you're about fifty. Deal with it. I once was a huge fan of tampons.  Sanitary Napkins (or pads, if you're not big into fancy talk) were basically diapers for adults in my eyes; I wanted no part of that.  Still, the idea of stuffing bleached cotton in my vagina did not sit well.  I eventually decided to make...

Celestial Seasonings tea is off the chain.

I'm a big fan of hot teas. While grocery shopping, I tend to  find myself on the tea aisle picking out two or three new flavors (which is ridiculous, considering the overwhelming amount of tea that I already have at home).  Last night, I discovered something delcious; I cannot keep it to myself. I mixed     and         and some honey. The result was something wonderful. It tasted a little  like a liquid fruit...

It’s list time, y’all: 60 Best Movies Ever

I am not a movie critic. The number of movies that I have seen might not even impress the frequent (and possibly occasional) watcher of movies. Still, I have good (bordering on great) taste. These may appear to  be empty words, but I have proof in the form of lists. Each list is composed of ten of my favorite movies in that category, except for the last list, which is simply the next ten movies in my netflix queue (because you care). Comedies and/or Chucklefests: 1. Superbad- Never will I ever get tired of watching this movie. After seeing it several times,...

Burt's Bees deep cleansing cream makes my face so soft!

I recently started washing my face once a day instead of two or three. You might think that this would cause the overall condition of my skin to worsen (I was convinced for years that the more you wash your face, the cleaner it will be, and the less  breakouts will occur...), but I have found the contrary to be true. Both the texture and tone of my skin have improved quite dramatically for such a simple change in my routine. By the way, that is the cleanser that I've been using for about two years and it is slammin. I...

I was bothered when asked to describe the cheese sticks at my place of employment. I felt that the name should've been pretty self explanatory. What was even more explanatory was THE DESCRIPTION ON THE MENU. I described them as crusty tubes filled with cheese, which is exactly what they are. The customers promptly left the restaurant.
